"The Spider and the Fly" is a song by English rock band the Rolling Stones, recorded in May 1965 and first released on the US version of their 1965 album Out of Our Heads. In the UK, it was released as the B-side to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". In 1971, the song was released on an album for the first time in the UK on the Decca Records compilation Stone Age.

The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The title takes its name from the 1829 poem by Mary Howitt. The lyrics speak about what the band, especially the leader, will do after their gig is over.

Hello boys and girls. Fun song to sing. Not too crazy about the lyrics, but the beat attracted me to it. Anyhowz, here is my cover of it. Thank you for your listen and any comments.
